I am more and more impressed with him. He is turning out to be very versatile. He just doesn't look like a dancer. I think he is a lot of fun. And no, I don't think he is trying to make people think he is straight. I have NO idea where that came from??? Who cares and what does that have to do with dancing anyway. Leave it alone.

I didn't like him at first because his personality and facial contortions were off putting. I think he is very lucky to have Donyelle as a partner. She gets him and her quiet, grounded energy is a good balance.

He can sure dance. I expect to see these two standing together in the end.

I think Benji is awesome. He has a lot of FUN when he dances and his enthusiasm is contagious. He also seems to be good at working with his partner - as part of a TEAM. I was surprised at his ability to look believable in hip hop, proving that he is more than just a ballroom dancer.
Personally, I think everyone should be judged on their dancing, not on their sexual preferences... and remember that his GIRLFRIEND dumped him before he went on the church mission. Sometimes people who LOOK like they are gay are not (have you ever watched Designing for the Sexes? The host, Michael Payne looks like he's gay, but he's married with a son).
